Mitsubishi Mirage Rear Door Panel Speaker Size
The Mitsubishi Mirage rear door panel accommodates a 6.5 inch speaker size across all listed model years. Compatible types for the location include midbass and full-range speakers. These specifications cover the 2014 to 2017 model range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2015 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
| 2014 | Midbass / Full-Range | 6.5 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Midbass | A driver tuned for upper bass and lower midrange, roughly from 80 Hz to 500 Hz. It has longer cone travel than a full-range unit, which supports stronger bass in doors and panels. |
| Full-Range | A single driver that reproduces bass through treble without a separate crossover network. It is the simplest replacement option and is common in factory audio systems. |
Additional Notes
- The rear door panel location in the Mitsubishi Mirage accommodates a 6.5 inch speaker opening across the 2014, 2015, and 2017 model years.
- A 6.5 inch speaker occupies a mounting diameter that positions the cone at a distance from the listening area typical of rear door panels, which are set below ear level and angled toward the cabin floor or lower seat area.
- Rear door panels distribute sound laterally within the cabin, meaning speakers mounted at that position contribute to the stereo width and rear soundstage depth rather than direct front-facing projection.
- The 6.5 inch diameter is associated with a cone area large enough to move sufficient air for reproducing lower midrange and upper bass frequencies, generally spanning from approximately 50 Hz to 5 kHz depending on the driver design.
- At the rear door panel location, a 6.5 inch driver reinforces the lower frequency content heard by rear passengers and adds body to the overall cabin sound.
- The midbass type is a speaker designed to handle the frequency band between subwoofer bass and midrange drivers, typically covering roughly 80 Hz to 500 Hz, and at the rear door panel location, a midbass driver contributes punch and low-mid body without reproducing high-frequency detail.
- The full-range type is a single driver engineered to reproduce a wide span of frequencies across bass, midrange, and treble, making a 6.5 inch full-range speaker at the rear door panel capable of functioning as the sole audio source for rear passengers without a supplemental tweeter.
- The Mitsubishi Mirage rear door panel mounting location accepts either a midbass or full-range speaker type in the 6.5 inch size, which reflects two acoustically distinct roles available within the same physical cutout.
- Door panel mounting typically involves a sealed or partially open rear cavity behind the speaker basket, and at the rear door panel position in the Mirage, the internal door structure forms the enclosure that influences the low-frequency extension and resonance behavior of a mounted 6.5 inch driver.
- A midbass driver in a rear door panel location performs most effectively when paired with a dedicated tweeter elsewhere in the cabin to cover the upper frequency range the midbass type is not designed to reproduce.
